Psalm 28-30

Psalm 28-30New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 28

Of David.

1 To you, Lord, I call;you are my Rock,do not turn a deaf ear to me.For if you remain silent,I will be like those who go down to the pit.2 Hear my cry for mercyas I call to you for help,as I lift up my handstoward your Most Holy Place.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,with those who do evil,who speak cordially with their neighborsbut harbor malice in their hearts.4 Repay them for their deedsand for their evil work;repay them for what their hands have doneand bring back on them what they deserve.

5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lordand what his hands have done,he will tear them downand never build them up again.

6 Praise be to the Lord,for he has heard my cry for mercy.7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.My heart leaps for joy,and with my song I praise him.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people,a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.9 Save your people and bless your inheritance;be their shepherd and carry them forever.

Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

1 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;worship the Lord in the splendor of his[a] holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;the God of glory thunders,the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;the voice of the Lord is majestic.5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,Sirion[b] like a young wild ox.7 The voice of the Lord strikeswith flashes of lightning.8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks[c]and strips the forests bare.And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;the Lord is enthroned as King forever.11 The Lord gives strength to his people;the Lord blesses his people with peace.

1 I will exalt you, Lord,for you lifted me out of the depthsand did not let my enemies gloat over me.2 Lord my God, I called to you for help,and you healed me.3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;you spared me from going down to the pit.

4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;praise his holy name.5 For his anger lasts only a moment,but his favor lasts a lifetime;weeping may stay for the night,but rejoicing comes in the morning.

6 When I felt secure, I said,“I will never be shaken.”7 Lord, when you favored me,you made my royal mountain[f] stand firm;but when you hid your face,I was dismayed.

8 To you, Lord, I called;to the Lord I cried for mercy:9 “What is gained if I am silenced,if I go down to the pit?Will the dust praise you?Will it proclaim your faithfulness?10 Hear,Lord, and be merciful to me;Lord, be my help.”

11 You turned my wailing into dancing;you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
